3 HAND-FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE HFMD Usually occurs in children less than 10 years of age Fever

4 HFMD Classically Coxsackie virus A16 Human Enterovirus 71 Coxsackie virus A10, or A5 Other Coxsackie viruses Typically incubation is 3-6 6days Dyer JA. Pediatr Ann 2007;36:21-29.

5 HFMD - exanthem Vesicular eruption Lesions often on lateral fingers and toes- with an elliptical i l shape Erythematous surround May be particularly localized to areas of inflammation

6 HFMD - enanthem Vesicles in the oral cavity rupture to become ulcers Most commonly on the lateral l aspects of the tongue

7 HFMD - treatment Encourage fluid intake Fever control Analgesics

8 VARICELLA Varicella-Zoster virus Prodrome of fever, headache and malaise Highly contagious Incubation day range

9 VARICELLA - exanthem Tear drop shaped vesicles on an erythematous base Dew-drop on a rose petal The lesions spread from the trunk to the extremities Lesions progress to pustules and later p g p crusted lesions

10 VARICELLA - enanthem Vesicular lesions occur which may become pustular Vesicles which h rupture may become ulcers

11 VARICELLA - treatment Monitor fluid intake Reduce fever Antihistamines Antivirals especially if immunocompromised Role of vaccine to prevent disease Mann M, et al: Pediatrics 2008;122:e

12 SCARLET FEVER Streptococcus pyogenes Erythrogenic toxin Pharyngitis and eruption Fever Incubation 2-5 days

13 SCARLET FEVER - exanthem Erythema accentuated in fold areas Pastia s sign Sand-paper type eruption Desquamation

14 SCARLET FEVER - enanthem Erythematous oropharynx Exudates (Cervical lymphadenopathy) Petechiae of soft palate Strawberry tongue

15 SCARLET FEVER - treatment Monitor fluid intake Reduce fever Analgesics Penicillin Clindamycin Erythromycin

16 UNILATERAL LATEROTHORACIC EXANTHEM Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem A.K.A. Asymmetrical periflexural exanthem of childhood d Described in 1962 Usually in children, reports in adults are rare

17 UNILATERAL LATEROTHORACIC EXANTHEM Eczematous papules of unilateral axilla and flank Then spread to other areas of body Unusual viral exanthem-reported associated with parvovirus B19 and Epstein Barr virus along with others

18 UNILATERAL LATEROTHORACIC EXANTHEM Topical corticosteroids for inflammation Antipruritics for itching

20 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME Associated with viral illness Virus-associated exanthem Most often in children aged 2-6 years of age Generalized lymphadenopathy may be seen Infrequently pruritic May last 6-8 weeks

21 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME Clinical findings: -Papular lesions -Urticarial lesions -Less often, vesicular or papulovesicular -More concentrated on the arms and legs -Can be seen on the trunk, but less dense -Koebner phenomenon

22 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME Viruses associated with Gianotti-Crosti -Epstein-Barr -Hepatitis A,C -Cytomegalovirus -Human herpesvirus 6 -Coxsackievirus A16,B4, B5 -Rotavirus -Parvovirus B19

23 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME Viruses associated with Gianotti-Crosti syndrome-continued -RSV -Echovirus -Enterovirus -Rubella and Mumps virus -Parainfluenza virus -HIV

24 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME Bacteria associated with Gianotti-Crosti syndrome -Bartonella henselae -Beta-hemolytic streptococci -Borrelia Burgdorferi -Mycoplasma pneumoniae Gianotti-Crosti syndrome has been reported follwing some immunizations, however is not a contraindication to giving those immunizations

25 GIANOTTI-CROSTI SYNDROME -Treatment Topical corticosteroids (one report of worsening- does not pose a contraindication) Oral antihistamines if patient has pruritus.

32 INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS - exanthem Erythematous maculopapular lesions Initially on the trunk and then spreads Areas of confluence can occur Pruritus Fd Fades in 34d 3-4 days Ellen Rimsza, M, et al: Pediatr Clin North Am 2005;52:9-24.

33 INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS - enanthem Macules or petechiae of the palate Erythema of the oropharynx Findings of Strep pharyngitis when present

34 INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS - treatment Monitor fluid intake Reduce fever Analgesics If Strep pharyngitis is present, pp y g p, treat with appropriate antibiotics
